Topic	I see Twitch has again stepped up the war on ad blockers
the_rowan 06/05/23 9:57:53 AM #27:	Sega9599 posted... I don't see a solution. People saying they hate all advertising. What do you expect to happen? To be able to opt out of encountering any kind of advertising at all ever? How can you guarantee that you will never purchase a product or register interest due to advertising? I put up with non intrusive advertising. Spam or horrible video ads that cover half the webpage is different. And it often brings new products or services to my attention. I don't mind putting up with a few unskippable short ads on YT. But I hate multiple unskippable ads on every video. People always complain about ads, but there have been many memorable ones. Ads are just fundamentally incompatible with personal livestreaming. Always have been and always will be. Not being able to see or hear what is going on in a game for even a few seconds completely ruins the experience, but Twitch especially likes to interrupt climactic moments like boss fights or discussions with the streamer with sudden ads. --- "That is why war is so tragic.
